Winery & Vintage Info
Alfredo and Katrina Pizzini built Pizzini Wines based on their passions and their commitment to family and Pizzini’s Italian heritage. Their winemaking dream began in 1978 when they planted their first vines, then in 1994 their first wine under the Pizzini label was produced.
Today their four adult children Natalie, Joel, Carlo and Nicole all work in the business alongside Alfredo and Katrina.
Like the tale of Rosetta Pizzini smuggling her beloved’s gift across the sea, the best stories are filled with great characters and complexity. The same can be said of our Pinot Grigio. Carefully selected from a multitude of vineyards, it spans the spectrum from crisp green apple to ripe yellow pear. Savour today with crusted scallops, lemon rind, capers and a compelling story
The 2023 Pinot Grigio fruit was harvested at four different stages and levels of ripeness to help build complexity of flavour. The juice was drained off the skins right then left to settle for 24 hours before racking and then fermentation. A yeast strain was used to ensure maximum extraction of varietal characters, while fermentation temperatures were kept low to capture freshness and aromatics.
